DynamicGroupController and attributes
therealdbT
Hey @toggledbits I'm back to trying to optimize a couple of things based on dynamic group. First of all, I think I found a typo in the doc: primary_attribute: "binary_sensor.state" primary_attribute_value: | d = false; each id in members: d = getEntity(id)?.attributes?.power_switch?.state or d, d I think the correct code snippet is d = false, All that said, my use case for dynamic groups is to group 3 different climate devices, so I could easily command them at the same time. Commands are good, but sometimes I want to check if any of the devices are on, and that's easily done with a similar snippet as the one you have in the docs. But this is limited to the primary attribute, while I want to have any of the attributes in the group to be driven by a similar logic (while all are null in the group). ie, access hvac_control.mode and see if any of the unit is set to cool, or heat. Is that possible, without re-defining an expression in each of my rules? Thanks!

[Solved] DynamicGroupController updating members issue
CrilleC
Edit: Solved in latest-26221. Bare-metal latest-26193 I have this group: "OKforLarm": name: OK för Larm select: - include_controller: vera - include_capability: door_sensor filter_expression: entity.attributes.door_sensor.state It contains the entities I expect but behaves a bit odd. When I open vera>device_10097 the entity attribute door_sensor.state changes to true but it won't show up as member in the group, when I also open vera>device_10095 they both shows as members and when I close vera>device_10095 it disappear from the group but when I close vera>device_10097 it lingers in the group until I restart Reactor.

Reactor (Multi-System/Multi-Hub) Announcements
toggledbitsT
Build 21228 has been released. Docker images available from DockerHub as usual, and bare-metal packages here. Home Assistant up to version 2021.8.6 supported; the online version of the manual will now state the current supported versions; Fix an error in OWMWeatherController that could cause it to stop updating; Unify the approach to entity filtering on all hub interface classes (controllers); this works for device entities only; it may be extended to other entities later; Improve error detail in messages for EzloController during auth phase; Add isRuleSet() and isRuleEnabled() functions to expressions extensions; Implement set action for lock and passage capabilities (makes them more easily scriptable in some cases); Fix a place in the UI where 24-hour time was not being displayed.

openLuup console disappeared - 500 - Internal Server Error
A
Love openLuup - it just keeps working perfectly. I started looking at trying to add a gen4 Shelly device to the Shelly plugin via L_ShellyBridge.lua. The plugin is a little uncooked (no rudeness intended), so a bit of a rabbit hole for me. All of a sudden no console pages available in either Firefox or Chrome. AltUI works perfectly and all the log files indicate no errors. openLuup still running everything works as it should - just no console pages. I possibly screwed something up but any recently changes files show no problems. The original/ backup of L_ShellyBridge.lua was reinstated but still no console. Bit stumped on this one. Not sure how to debug. Any ideas?

[MSR] Copy&past of actions and/or drag&drop between set/reset
therealdbT
Hey @toggledbits One thing that bothers me while doing work on new systems/new features, is that I cannot copy&paste actions, and I cannot drag&drop between set and resets. #1 is for when I want to copy an action between different rules opened in two separate browser windows, while #2 is when I just need to flip a bunch of actions in the reset, or move some logic back and forth. Both will be appreciated, but I understand the technical challenges. Thanks!

Upgrade advice - upgrade from aarch64 to ARM64 image
T
I'm currently on version 26011. I understand that the aarch64 image is no longer supported. So, I therefore need to update to the ARM64 image. Can anyone possibly suggest how I update my docker compose.yaml file (see below). Ideally I'd like to keep my existing reactions etc. rather than start from scratch. # Multi-System Reactor template docker-compose.yml (version 22160) # # Change the lines indicated by "DO"... # services: reactor: container_name: reactor environment: # DO change the TZ: line to set your local time zone. # See valid TZ list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones TZ: GB # # DO NOT change this path. Your directory location is in "source" below. REACTOR_DATA_PREFIX: /var/reactor # DO change the image below to the one you are using (e.g. armv7l or aarch64 for RPi 4) image: toggledbits/reactor:latest-aarch64 restart: "always" expose: - 8111 ports: - 8111:8111 volumes: # DO change the /home/username/reactor below to the directory you created for # your local data; DO NOT change the /var/reactor part - /home/pi/docker/reactor:/var/reactor - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro tmpfs: /tmp

Ezlo Paid Subscription for Vera Cloud Services
toggledbitsT
It appears that Ezlo is going to new levels of paid subscription for cloud services supporting Vera hubs. I have to congratulate them. It will soon be 8 years since Ezlo acquired Vera, and despite their purported financial and "intellectual" capital, they have to date not produced a viable full replacement for Vera. Now they are going to charge extra for services for a platform that they stopped updating years ago. If you know anyone who hasn't yet fully moved on from Captain Ahab's White Whale Chase, please remind them that my Decouple project is still up on Github to decouple a Vera Plus/Secure/Edge from Vera/Ezlo's cloud services. Veras have been said to misbehave when they can't reach the mother ship. I have also written my first new Vera plugin in... six years? more?... the AlertPushover project will send Vera hub alerts to Pushover, so you can still get messages generated by your Vera hub without paying for Ezlo's cloud service. It's crude but functional (i.e. better than nothing/worth every penny paid). These two projects won't replace the functionality of their cloud service and app for those who need those things. But any that don't, this may help bridge the gap. Hopefully these stragglers who have waited so long and been disappointed so often will get the idea that it's time to move on.

  • Finally gave up on my Ezlo Plus
    C Cadwizzard

    With regret, my three Vera controllers (VeraSecure and VeraPlus) are now in a cupboard. It's been such a shame to see the support for vera drop to impossible from being able to get someone on the phone straight away over the years. A firmware update (official) killed one of them and support didnt replace it. EZLO secure never came to the UK.
    I've been with vera since vera3 and had a LOT of automations in PLEG and Reactor on that platform.
    Updates were few, and the hugely contributing people on the forums telling Vera/Ezlo support how to fix things often got banned when they raised concerns.

    They had so much good potential and reasonably decent hardware in itself. I moved everything (60 z wave devices) and my alarm panel and weather station all into HA. It's been a pain, but with MSR at least I have some familiarity and less MASSIVE pains including devices like you get with over 50 or less on the Vera. At least in ZwaveJS when something goes wrong, its easy to check logs and reinterview/delete entities that aren't valid and sort it, without the exclude/include everytime (sometimes many times per device) on the other platform.
    z stick on Pi with HA has less range and more tedious backup methods, and not as tidy package on the shelf, but at least its progressive.
    And i'm able to update the z wave devices OTA without excluding and including into a different network to do it as a bonus.

  • Notifications to HA App via Reactor?
    C Cadwizzard

    OK, understood.
    It certainly wouldn't be redundant for people like me. I'm are not a specialist in code or expert in HA, much more a visual logic person. I use Reactor to avoid having to drop into functions and expressions. I'm trying to get my partner onboard with how HA/reactor works because you can step into it and just create logic. If I show her that's how you send messages, she'll lose interest immediately 🙂
    I'm super grateful to @pabla - i'd never have been able figure that out myself...... after spending the time needed to get telegram working and it being less than ideal, I had already just started creating all my notifications in HASS directly and accepted i'd lose the logic I wanted to add to them in MSR. Notifications are such a huge part of the smart home
    Do you think it might ever make sense or you find the time to attach the notifications into the "Alert" notifier in MSR? Just hoping.

  • Using Variables in notifications
    C Cadwizzard

    @pabla Thank You!
    I was going wrong with the title by missing the comma in preceding line, I had the rest right and indented the same before I took the code out, as it wasn't working.

    And right again, I had tested the code with ${{content}} but it didn't work - most likely because I used the play button to the right and not above the reaction.

    Really appreciated, i've updated my template I copy from, so that should be notifications sorted for everything now.

    Seperate issue is the value on the sensor flaps up and down by 1% when its close to changing (temperature in the oil tank/expansion) and sends lots of notifications, just need to figure out how to address that. But off topic for this post 🙂

  • Using MSR with BrowserMod to change pages/dashboards
    C Cadwizzard

    @pabla Thank You!
    Perfect guess on your part. This works as an example. Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction
    working1.png

    @toggledbits also appreciate your intent to make the UI yaml friendly at some point too. This json/yaml thing caught me out, along with the code formatting required.

    Thanks again to all 🙂

    Side note to anyone using kiosk type modes (like in windows especially). It might seem nice to have the browser restart after x hours in the kiosk settings to take you back to a home/start page in HA, but that will break browsermod and force you to re-register the browser (so, the better way is to use MSR or another way to control that behavior, if you want it)

  • Where Used Functionality?
    C Cadwizzard

    @tbully
    I've had this before too. Something has triggered (or not) .Being able to look up where it is present without going through all the rules would have been great. MSR has a great recent history and warnings now to help, but especially when changing things and you want to be sure you have caught everywhere things were defined.
    This was last in vera for me but i'm sure it will happen again as I rebuild everything and my rules become more linked together.

    Aside from search for this, When opening nested/closed rules in the UI, the reactions don't show without clicking edit. It does make it quite hard to open a few rules to have a quick glance at the trigger and reaction.
    I might be missing something, but it would be great to be able (even if an option to turn this on or off) to also see the reactions when opening a rule to check it contains what you think it should, or when quickly comparing similar rules too.
